JB Apples has over 700 acres of orchards either currently Bio-Gro fully certified organic or in conversion.
John Bostock was the first New Zealander to approach organic apple growing on a commercial basis for export.
Today JB Apples achieves 80% yield of conventional apples. However, quality, taste, brix and pressures are noticeably better with organic apples.
 

 

JB Apples extensively uses compost made from surplus organic material gained from other operations. Compost is very important in creating a healthy, fertile and biologically active orchard environment.
JB Apples is a leader in developing new environmentally friendly techniques of controlling pests and diseases. In many ways this leading edge work is a great positive influence for conventional growers who are being forced to reduce the volume of pesticides by the example of successful organic producers.
 

 

Most importantly of all,
organic apples are a
heathy and a safe choice
for consumers.

It is the philosophy of
JB Apples to produce
premium quality fruit in
an environmentally and
socially sustainable way.
